Marilyn Hassid Emerging Author
Francesca' Segal's refreshing first novel, The Innocents portrays modern-day Jewish life with both wit and empathy, effortlessly guiding us through a contemporary cultural milieu whose social rules, both spoken and unspoken, are just as claustrophobic as those of 19th-century New York. A reworking of Edith Wharton's iconic 1920 novel, The Age of Innocence, Segal lifts the story from its original setting and gracefully sets it down in a 21st-century Jewish London suburb. " A moving, funny, richly drawn story of a young man's attempts to find out who he wants to be when there are so many others who know best. Full of real pleasures and unexpected wisdom, this book sweeps you along.' -Esther Freud, author of Love Falls and Lucky Break
